Commercial Record.

By the Gazelle and Spray, we have no alteration to note from our last week’s report. Flour inTSydney remains firm at £26. Freights hence are easily procured, and we are glad to see a more animated disposition to export our produce, which has, in consequence of the late boisterous weather, been at a premium. Live stock has also shown an upward tendency. Another bottom has been added to onr colonial shipping.. The Sybill has been purchased by Messrs. Henderson and McFarlane, and placed in the Nelson trade. She has secured already a full cargo and passengers. The Emily Allison cleared from Melbourne fur this port August 6tb, in ballast.
